IRL Florida Joker sends Rockstar legal threat after demanding millions over GTA 6 parody The real-life \u2018Florida Joker\u2019 has threatened Rockstar Games with legal action after allegedly being parodied in the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer After the long-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer was finally released on December 4, albeit ahead of schedule after being leaked online, fans analyzed the trailer frame-by-frame where they spotted numerous easter eggs relating to real-life locations, past GTA games, and memes. Among them appeared to be a reference to the \u2018Florida Joker\u2019 \u2014 who went viral across social media after being arrested, as the man\u2019s mugshot resembled the infamous DC Comics villain. The \u2018Florida Joker\u2019, whose real name is Lawrence Sullivan, quickly voiced his frustrations over Rockstar allegedly portraying him in the GTA 6 trailer, insisting that he speaks with them. A few days later on December 8, Sullivan pressed the devs again, this time demanding millions for using his \u201clikeness.\u201d \u2018Florida Joker\u2019 threatens Rockstar with legal action over GTA 6 trailer Now, in a TikTok post on December 12, the \u2018Florida Joker\u2019 has threatened Rockstar with legal action. \u201cGTA I\u2019m giving you the biggest free marketing you got in your entire history of running this GTA game. For that, I want an extra million dollars,\u201d he demanded. \u201cYou\u2019re taking forever to respond to me.\u201d Sullivan continued: \u201cFind the other person in Florida they portrayed that character from. I\u2019ll wait, I will wait. GTA we got to talk.\u201d He added: \u201cYou think I\u2019m playing? You\u2019ve got three days, three days before my lawyers go crazy on this case. This is not like the Lizzie Lohan case. I got hard evidence.\u201d While Sullivan thinks he has a solid case, Red Dead Redemption 2 Arthur Morgan actor Roger Clark thinks otherwise. Hitting back, the actor put the \u2018Florida Joker\u2019 on blast, suggesting he should \u201ccapitalize\u201d on the newfound fame he\u2019s gotten since the trailer was released. \u201cThey\u2019ve had people like you trying to sue them for decades,\u201d Clark explained. \u201cThey are loaded up man. They know exactly what they can and cannot get away with.\u201d With that said it\u2019s unclear whether or not we\u2019ll see a parody of the \u2018Florida Joker\u2019 in the actual game. For now, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see when Grand Theft Auto 6 releases in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
